Tribal Jewels

The noise and vibrancy of the jewellery Souks gave way to the quiet of a back street. Our curiosity lost us ever further into the labyrinth until suddenly... there she was. Radiant. Beautiful. A bride on her wedding day. We gasped aloud at the intricacy of her costume, the beauty of her ethnic jewellery, each full of meaning, worn symbolically on this, the most important of her days. She glazed without guile through her tribal head-dress and smiled, her arms full of bracelets and her ornate earrings dancing in the sun. My camera itched in my pocket, but stayed there. I would find plenty to capture this memory in the abundance of ethnic and tribal jewellery in the souks on our return journey. She glanced again, serene, knowing, exquisite... and then she was gone, a corner turned, a new life begun.A special memory deserves unique jewellery – Jewellery of the Planet
